ATTACHMENT FOR FOUNTAIN PENS.

Application filed larch 30, 1928. Serial No 628,749.

provide a removable attachment associated with the removable cap of thefountain pen so constructed as to fold a small rollof note paper for thepurpose of taking notes and memorandums when no other paper isavailable.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich will be constructed so that the paper may be re plenished when theorigina supply has been exhausted.

Other objects of the invention will appear upon consideration of thefollowing detall description and accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the pen constructed in accordance withmy inven tion Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section through thecap and showing my invention applied thereto,

Figure 3 is an enlarged elevation showing the end of the paperprotruding from the paper holder, and

Figure 4 is a cross section of line H of Figure 2.

Referrin to the drawing by numerals the fountain pen '1 is of theconventional type and is equipped with a removable protector cap 2which, in this instance, is screw threaded in the usual manner asmdicated at 3 so that it may be attached to the body of the pen. Thesocket end of the cap 2 which embraces the pen point is tapered to formthe' small'flat end 4 provided with an openin to receive the'shaft 5upon which is mounte the roll of pa er-6. An annular flange 7 isprovided at t is end of the cap 2 and the same is equipped with interiorscrew threads for receiving the screw threads on the paper casing 8.

The paper casing 8 is of the same size as the ca 2 with respect to itsdiameter and may be ong enough to provide an inner compartment 9 of anydesired length where by paper of 'any preferred width may be includedalthough it will be obvious that relatively narrow paper will besuflicient for the purposes of practical use of the invention. In theclosed end 10 of the casing 8, a socket 11 is provided to receive theopposite end of the shaft 5 as shown to advan: tage in Figure 2 so thatthe roll of paper will be mounted to freely turn when it is to be drawnfrom the compartment 9. A longitudinal slot 12 is formed in the casing 8through which the end of the paper is extende as shown in Figure 3 andthe slot 12 is opened at the screw threaded end of the casing 8 so thatthe paper may be readily inserted when the parts are assembled.

It will be obvious from this description that when it is desired to usethe paper, the pen will be removed from the cap 2 and a portion of thepaper will be withdrawn through the slot 12 whereupon the pen point maybe employed for making notes on the paper. The paper may be replenishedby rerlilioving the casing 8 and inserting a new ro Claim:

An attachment of the character described comprising in combination, afountain pen cap having one end opened and the other end closed, theclosed end being provided with a tapered ortion having a reduced endnipped wit a perforation, said closed end 0 the cap also having a screwthreaded flange, a removable casin having one end opened and the otheren closed, the open end being ada ted for screw threaded con nectionwith t e said screw threaded flange on the cap,the opposite closed endof the casing bemg e nipped with an' interior socket, a shaft a apted tohave one end received in the said socket, and the other end in the saiderforation, and a roll'of paper adapted to e mounted upon the saidshaft.

In testimon whereof, I have aflixed my signature in t e presence of twowitnesses.
